I always interpreted Soong's breakthrough as creating an AI that would remain stable indefinitely rather than succumbing to cascade failure. Arguably, the Doctor's experience in "The Swarm" (and possibly even as early as "Projections") was similar to what we saw Lal go through --which could...

Though there are also continuities (the 90s Batman movies, the original Flash TV series, Watchmen, Wildstorm), where Krypton either wasn't destroyed or never existed in the first place, resulting in a world without Superman. There are also near-future post-apocalyptic settings (the Kamandi or...

Sorry for thread necromancy. Between working 8 days a week and trying to get caught up on the last few years of TrekLit, it's taken me a while to catch up and compile my thoughts. Add me to the list who didn't like Coda, not just for what it did or failed to do, but for the fact that the stated...

To chime in very belatedly with an observation about Brikars; AFAIK the only Brikars we've ever seen depicted visually (in any official context) are Zak and his mother (who appeared in a photo in an issue of the comics). Zak's mother was depicted as literally just Zak wearing a dress (leading to...

"The internet is total proof of that." --Felicia Day ;)

From what I've personally seen, a lot of the butthurt comes from her: A) not caring about pre-established continuity. B) making the Jedi look like bastards (which, let's face it, they kinda were in the Prequels). and C) taking a race of cardboard nobodies and fleshing them out into a...

Actually, as a life-long Star Wars fan, I think Traviss' books are the best thing to come out of the Prequel era (narrowly beating out the cartoon series), and I for one would love to see what she could do with the Jem'Hadar or the Talarians.

Before I disappear again to avoid The Fall spoilers, here are some of my recent casting ideas. Stephanie Sheh as Corazame Ret Ata-E I still see the Tzenkethi as a CGI effect, but I can't help but hear Corazame with Hinata Hyuuga's English dub voice. She has the perfect blend of quiet...

SCE/CoE (SCoE?) remains one of my favourite series, so I will always want to see it come back. There's still more Klingon Empire stories to be told; we've had a glimpse of how things end up thanks to Destiny (as we did with CoE, in fact), but there's still more I'd like to see. As much as I...

Sad news, RIP to a great author.

Because we all have them. How is Glinn Dygan's name pronounced? Die-gan? Dee-gan? D'gan? Over the course of one book he managed to become one of my favourite characters, so I'm curious. And, a mild Cold Equations spoiler:

There's a Trek-as-TV reference in The Rings of Time, when Zoe speculates about "sexy green girls." Personally, I like to think that Titan: Synthesis is a covert Transformers crossover. The Sentries believe that FirstGen Zero-One was destroyed in slipspace, but what if it simply decanted into...

See, I kinda liked the explanation for the tech downgrade (mainly because it invokes the kind of pointy-haired "management" stupidity that I believe is both universal and eternal). OTOH, Stranger Things have happened, and the Enterprise can't be everywhere (well, I guess it could, under some...

Though I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Rugal pop up again in future books. Much like real life, come to that.

True, though it's not like there aren't enough gaps in the novel timeline where an action-based comic miniseries could fit (glares toward the Ascendants arc).

Not necessarily; we actually know very little of the TOS-era Gorn in the Prime timeline, who knows what might be going on in the Abramsverse? Plus, a lot can change between Kirk's era and the 2380s (note the Klingon on the bridge).

Rest well, Storyteller.

If Transformers can produce new content in multiple different timelines (Neo-G1, Prime, Shattered Glass, Classics, Bayverse), I fail to see why Star Trek can't. Especially since, as with Transformers, alternate universes are built-in to the mythology. It seems wasteful to not use them.

How do you know Guinan hasn't been a Captain once or twice? ;) Joking aside, I do note that a lot of TrekLit's female captains have been restricted to supporting roles only; Capt. Kira: In charge, but didn't really do anything while the story focused more on Vaughn, Ro, Taran'Atar, Shar, et...

And given the complexities of a Jovian lunar orbit, it's entirely possible that Andor has a "seasonal" precession that takes centuries (by human standards, anyway). Perhaps Andorians originally evolved in another season and simply adapted to the new climate when the rest of their ecology died...
